Five Mistakes You Must Avoid While Driving

Despite knowing how to drive a car, many drivers are not good drivers.

You are shocked and surprised by this, I know.

You have a question mark on your forehead, and you want to know the reason why a driver who knows well how to drive would not be considered a good driver.

Don’t worry. I will not disappoint you.

Here are five major mistakes that often drivers make, to earn themselves a spot on the list of bad drivers.

Eating and drinking while driving

Most drivers make this mistake. They take snacks, fast-foods, and beverages while driving, and shockingly, they don’t consider it bad at all. If you also make this mistake, drop this habit immediately, because you put not only yourself, but also others at risk. A small mistake on the road can cost you or others their lives.

Talking or texting on the phone

Talking and texting on the phone while driving has been identified as a major cause of road accidents. Using a phone while driving shows that you are an irresponsible person, who cares for neither yourself, nor others.

Other drivers are giving you a pass

If you are asking for a pass from every other driver on the road, then you are driving too fast. Check the speedometer. One or two drivers may be driving slow, but not everybody. You need to keep checking the speedometer regularly, and should not drive more than normal speed.

The door mirror is broken.

If you are driving your car without a side mirror or with a broken side mirror, it means you are a careless driver. This mistake can result in an accident. What is more, it can cost you a penalty as well, because driving on the road with a broken door mirror is a violation of the traffic law.

If you make any of these abovementioned mistakes, you cannot call yourself a good driver. Avoid them at any cost and follow every traffic and driving rule. Encourage others, as well, to avoid these mistakes, because driving safely is the duty of every driver.
